I have to agree with Adam on this one guys. I even remember a story that he told me during season about how he was explaining 2011 to one of our sponsors and they were simply puzzled as to why that game challenge was created. If FIRST wants to have success year after year when it comes to games, they need to recognize that the games need to emulate simple tasks but tasks that people can follow play by play. (Real time scoring helped improve that mentality this year and I hope that the same continues to play out)
The yearly challenges don't have to be hard to understand and FIRST nailed that on the head this year given the task was playing basketball.
I would like to see FIRST take one of the more abstract games and make it just as fun and understandable for next year. *cough 2005/2000 *cough
